New Delhi:

Actress Amber Heard is reported to have married Johnny Depp, Hollywood's celebrated wizard of odd, in a private ceremony in Los Angeles on February 4. She is also going to marry him again on his island in the Bahamas over the weekend. Two weddings for one of showbiz's most notorious bad boys (though now reformed), and one who resisted a walk down the aisle these last few decades ever since he divorced his first wife in 1986 after a three year marriage. So who exactly is the new Mrs Depp?

Amber Laura Heard was born on April 22, 1986 in Texas to Patricia Paige and David Clinton Heard. Amber also has a younger sister named Whitney. She was raised Catholic but declared herself an atheist at the age of 16 after reading the works of author Ayn Rand. She had dropped out of high school and completed a diploma via a home-study course.

Amber started her showbiz career with appearances in TV commercials and music videos. She then landed small roles on the TV shows Jack & Bobby and The Mountain in 2004. The same year, she made her big screen debut in Friday Night Lights co-starring Billy Bob Thornton and Garrett Hedlund. The film was a critical and commercial success and set Amber firmly on the path to screen success.

Amber simultaneously worked in films and TV shows like Criminal Minds, Californication and Hidden Palms. The movies on her decade-long resume include The River Why, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, The Joneses, Paranoia, 3 Days to Kill, Drop Dead Sexy, Zombieland and Pineapple Express.

In 2011, she started shooting for The Rum Diary, opposite Johnny Depp, a role which she reportedly snatched from Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley. The Rum Diary opened to mixed reviews but off-screen, it was a blockbuster hit for Amber and Johnny who began dating in 2012, after Johnny broke up with his longtime partner, French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis.
